Texas Instruments: Composing Music Mathematically

Curated by ACT

This activity is designed to motivate and challenge first year algebra students through a fun introduction to advanced mathematical concepts. It also offers extensions for upper grade level students. Students will recognize relationships between mathematics and music by identifying the frequency (and loudness) of a pure tone. Students will discover that sound can be represented as a function. Students will collect pure tones and generate smooth curves.
